I've a convict and a jd in my tank. Heck...my jd is a ***** cat. He ran away from convict. The convict I have...I think is a psycho. He loves to lock jaws with fish...he just had a major jaw locking with my green terror. That was one amazing fight. I saw them shake then lauched at each other. At the end...green terror lost the fight. And my male convict showed it like an honor knight. Hahaa...

No harm done. They are still juveniles. No scratch on them at all :)

Of course, I'll have to remove the convicts (male and female) from that tank when they grew a bit more...to a different tank.

I agreed with everyone. You will have to think about removing RD from that tank. That guy is agressive. The Oscar is a timid fish...and big. My goodness...you either have to think about getting rid of some fish or getting a couple different tanks to house all different temparament fish.

my 2.5" male con jaw locks with my 4" jack and the con always wins that battle as well. My 2" saum (green terror) still hasn't got the balls to challenge my con. It always turns tail.

My 2" convict is smaller than my green terror. Heck...that guy kick azz. My Green Terror is timid around the convict, but when he is cornered...he does fight back. As for my JD...really...their temparament is overated. I oughta name that guy chicken instead of Jacky *sigh*.

You know...I just found out...about the star thing (****)...the foul words are changed automatically. I tried to say azz in the right way...it came out 3 *.

So...I don't think it is about being ***. We are just being mornitored.

I read about that...the Oscar in 10 gallons tank. I found that thread is so senseless. Our date is hot or not isn't any other people's business. It is all personal preference. What I think is hot might be ugly to someone. Beside, the whole thread was off the point. It was about Oscar in 10 gallons tank...not about "My date is hotter" thread.

In that thread...it wasn't an arguement. It was a fight. When a person being attacked subjectively....that's called "fight" or dirty fight/being ganged up. Debate is about people have different view on an issue/topic.

That thread totally reminded me of AOL chatroom. EWWWWW...

Yes and I subjected myself once again to that level. Gotta keep my temper under control :p. I love my queen and thats what matters. And yes im still against oscars in the 10 gallon, and yes I think jack dempseys are over estimated (used to not but have had my mind changed lately with my jack becoming a wimp) There almost got back on topic :D
 
I noticed that you were being attacked subjectively. Yes, I agreed your date is your own business. How you want to post your pictures is your own decision and right. I just don't understand why some people will attack on another person on that level. Unless they really got nothing to do but think about some silly things to argue about.

I don't agree the Oscar should be in that 10 gallons tank too. Again...that's our opinion. If the 3 musketeers feel the need to talk about law and order and argue...let them.

Beside...I don't believe HUMANE SOCIETY does "OSCAR" rescue. I looked into their website...don't see any freshwater fish rescue. Since we have the passion for fish...I don't blame paradigmcubed took the fish out of that house since no one else would help him...and definitely not the law.

I don't think you were out of line about defending your love one. And I'm sure the 3 musketeers will do the same if we attack them subjectively instead of objectively.
 
I'm getting a lot of fighting back and forth with my 3.5" GT and 2.5" con... tooks them less than 30mins after being moved to their new 55gal tank to start fighting... no marks, but lots of splashing... I've only seen them lock lips once..and that was for a split second... My convict is a nasty little guy...it pretty much owns the tank right now. I just picked up a 1.5-2" dempsey...once it's done with a 2 week preventative quaratine, it will get dropped into the 55...be interesting to see what happens.
